#405: Follow Me: Jesus Calls Ordinary People- Mark part 4

Author: Jessica White February 25, 2026 Duration: 18:31
Mark 1:14-28 In today’s episode, we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark. Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee and calls His first disciples—ordinary fishermen named Peter, Andrew, James, and John. With just two simple words, “Follow Me,” Jesus invites them into something completely new. In this episode, kids will: Walk alongside Jesus by the Sea of Galilee and imagine the sights and sounds of fishermen at work Learn what Jesus meant when He said, “I will make you fishers of men” Discover why Jesus taught with authority See Jesus’ power over darkness as He heals a man with an unclean spirit Be encouraged that Jesus seeks us first and lovingly calls ordinary people to follow Him We’ll also pause to talk about what it really means to follow Jesus today—at home, at school, and with our friends—and how God loves to use everyday people to share His good news with the world. At the end of the episode, we’ll pray together and share special listener shout-outs. Want to Go Deeper as a Family?
